自称中本聪的斯蒂芬·莫拉 (Stephen Mollah) 承诺提供终极证明

比特币匿名创造者中本聪的身份终于可以揭开了吗？至少，亚裔英国宏观经济学家史蒂芬·莫拉 (Stephen Mollah) 于 2024 年 10 月 31 日星期四在伦敦出人意料地宣布了这一点。

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, has been the subject of intense speculation for over a decade. Now, a British macroeconomist of Asian descent claims to be the real Satoshi.

比特币的匿名创造者中本聪的身份十多年来一直是人们激烈猜测的话题。现在，一位亚裔英国宏观经济学家声称自己是真正的中本聪。

Stephen Mollah made the surprising announcement during an event at the Frontline Club in London on Thursday, promising a "live demonstration" to prove his identity.

周四，斯蒂芬·莫拉在伦敦前线俱乐部的一次活动中宣布了这一令人惊讶的消息，并承诺将进行“现场示威”以证明自己的身份。

"I am Satoshi Nakamoto," Mollah boldly declared. He claimed that he had previously attempted to reveal his true identity but was “prevented” by external forces. An unpublished interview with the BBC was also supposed to provide evidence, he added.

“我是中本聪，”Mollah 大胆宣称。他声称，此前他曾试图透露自己的真实身份，但遭到外部势力的“阻止”。他补充说，英国广播公司未发表的采访也应该提供证据。

However, the audience remained skeptical, especially since the information provided by Mollah lacked technical grounding. The event quickly took an unexpected turn when he presented "easy to forge" screenshots, according to Joe Tidy, a BBC journalist present at the venue.

然而，观众仍然持怀疑态度，特别是莫拉提供的信息缺乏技术基础。据在场的 BBC 记者 Joe Tidy 称，当他展示“易于伪造”的屏幕截图时，活动很快发生了意想不到的转变。

Participants, who paid nearly £500 to attend the event, grew impatient with Mollah's technical difficulties and his failure to produce concrete evidence.

支付了近 500 英镑参加此次活动的参与者对莫拉的技术困难和未能提供具体证据越来越不耐烦。

Charles Anderson, who was identified as Mollah's "public relations officer" and organized the event, claimed to have seen evidence and supported Mollah's statements. But no compelling evidence was presented.

查尔斯·安德森被认为是莫拉的“公关官员”并组织了这次活动，他声称看到了证据并支持莫拉的声明。但没有提出令人信服的证据。

The lack of rigor in the evidence provided, such as screenshots without external verification, raised more distrust than conviction among the audience, who were ready to see irrefutable information like a Bitcoin transfer from the Genesis block.

所提供的证据缺乏严谨性，例如未经外部验证的屏幕截图，在观众中引起的更多的是不信任而不是信念，他们已经准备好看到无可辩驳的信息，例如来自创世区块的比特币转账。

Despite the criticism, Mollah insisted that he would soon be able to provide the ultimate proof: the transfer of Bitcoin from the famous Genesis block, a technical maneuver that only the true creator of Bitcoin could accomplish.

尽管受到批评，Mollah 坚持认为他很快就能提供最终的证据：从著名的创世区块转移比特币，这是只有比特币真正的创造者才能完成的技术操作。

"The Bitcoin from the Genesis block cannot be moved as easily as you think," he explained. He promised that an official press conference would announce this symbolic transfer "very soon."

“来自创世区块的比特币并不像你想象的那么容易移动，”他解释道。他承诺，官方新闻发布会将“很快”宣布这一象征性的转会。

This announcement, although promising, left observers skeptical. They recalled that several "Faketoshis" had made similar claims without ever managing to provide any tangible proof.

这一声明虽然充满希望，但仍让观察人士持怀疑态度。他们回忆说，一些“Faketoshis”曾提出类似的主张，但从未设法提供任何切实的证据。

Mollah's case is also complex due to his many other unconventional claims. In addition to claiming paternity of Bitcoin, he asserts that he invented the Twitter logo, the Eurobond, and even the ChatGPT language tool.

由于莫拉提出了许多其他非传统主张，他的案件也很复杂。除了声称比特币是他的父子之外，他还声称自己发明了 Twitter 徽标、欧洲债券，甚至 ChatGPT 语言工具。

These statements, which add to Mollah's previous claims on LinkedIn, where he lists the Bitcoin white paper as one of his publications and mentions blockchain patents, have only intensified doubts about the credibility of his discourse.

这些声明与 Mollah 之前在 LinkedIn 上的声明相结合，他将比特币白皮书列为他的出版物之一，并提到了区块链专利，但这些声明只会加剧人们对其言论可信度的怀疑。

Through a promise of decisive proof but with no specific deadline, Mollah maintains suspense while fueling the myth around Satoshi’s identity once again.

通过承诺提供决定性的证据，但没有具体的截止日期，Mollah 保持悬念，同时再次助长了围绕中本聪身份的神话。

Although the crypto community remains divided between fascination and disbelief, the Mollah case reminds us how the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains a captivating mystery. If Mollah keeps his promises and provides tangible evidence at a future conference, he could redefine the history of Bitcoin. But in the absence of concrete facts, this claim only reactivates speculation about the true identity of Satoshi, an enigma that continues to resonate in the crypto world and may well remain unanswered.

尽管加密社区仍然分为迷恋和怀疑，但 Mollah 案件提醒我们中本聪的身份如何仍然是一个迷人的谜团。如果莫拉信守承诺并在未来的会议上提供切实的证据，他可能会重新定义比特币的历史。但在缺乏具体事实的情况下，这一说法只会重新激起人们对中本聪真实身份的猜测，这是一个在加密世界中继续引起共鸣的谜团，而且很可能仍然没有答案。
